If there is suspicion of illegal drug possession or distribution, officers may want to search your property to find evidence that will help their case. However, they cannot just conduct searches whenever they want to. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures in places where a legitimate expectation of privacy exists. Your potential drug possession conviction may rest on whether you were the victim of an illegal search and seizure.
